After all, the term Genetic Evolution sounds quite prestigious. He had heard Jiang Cheng mention before that the effects of the Genetic Evolution Potion have great potential for enhancement, and more advanced Genetic Evolution Potions could be developed.
Moreover, unlike the existing Genetic Evolution Potions, these more advanced Genetic Evolution Potions can extend human lifespans and enhance more abilities, which would have a greater impact on human society.
The nation also attaches great importance to this matter. A research institute for Genetic Evolution was prepared at the earliest opportunity, and there are plans to establish a department, with personnel at all levels being mobilized. All that's missing is a leader.
In the eyes of the top leader, Jiang Cheng is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, so Major General Xiang Dong was called to discuss it in detail with Jiang Cheng.
But Major General Xiang Dong never imagined that Jiang Cheng would directly refuse the nation's request, saying he would devote his time and energy to other matters.
Major General Xiang Dong found it hard to imagine Genetic Evolution Potion Technology—a technology that countless researchers from the nation were eager to dedicate their lives to, yet Jiang Cheng showed such an attitude. Major General Xiang Dong couldn't understand what Jiang Cheng was thinking!
Could it be that Jiang Cheng really had something more important? Something even more important than Genetic Evolution Potion Technology, what could that possibly be?
Suddenly, this thought crossed Major General Xiang Dong's mind, making his brain tingle and even feel a bit of fear, causing a shiver down his spine. Genetic Evolution Potion Technology, a technology that can change all of humanity!
What could possibly be more important than this technology, Major General Xiang Dong couldn't even fathom!
"Yes, I can serve as the Minister of the Genetic Evolution Department or as the head of the Genetic Evolution Potion research group, but my future work focus will not be on this," Jiang Cheng shrugged helplessly. He really had no other options, as he had so many technologies beyond this world; although the Genetic Evolution Potion Technology is critical, it's not worth his excessive time.
Yes, it would be a waste.
Qing Tengsu, Virtual Reality Device, Graphene Preparation Technology, even Genetic Evolution Potion Technology, and smog-curing bacteria technology—all these are not the most critical technologies to Jiang Cheng. He wants to truly change the era, and there's still a long way to go. These technologies aren't sufficient to achieve his goals.
Is that so..." Major General Xiang Dong soon snapped out from his shock after hearing Jiang Cheng's words. He understood the implication: Jiang Cheng could take the position within the group or as the Minister of the National Gene Evolution Department, but only nominally, coming forth only when significant matters arose, without involving himself in daily affairs.
Major General Xiang Dong already admired Jiang Cheng, but after this, admiration seems inadequate; it could only be described as respect. Because if it were him, he would have jumped at the chance to become the Minister of the Genetic Evolution Department.
One could imagine the honor and reverence that would come with being the Minister of the Genetic Evolution Department when Genetic Potions truly become widespread in the future.
However, since Jiang Cheng said so, he probably made a firm decision, thus giving the nation a graceful concession. After all, the request for Jiang Cheng to assume the position of Minister was put forth by the top leader, and Jiang Cheng must also give face to the top leader.
"Alright then, I won't insist further. According to the top leader's directive, it's best to fully respect your wishes. Jiang Cheng, my old friend, since you've said so, you'll take on the title of Minister of the Genetic Evolution Department, and no special issues will require your presence." Major General Xiang Dong sighed and nodded, acknowledging the great importance the top leader placed on this matter, granting him significant autonomy in handling it.
Calling Jiang Cheng merely an honorary Minister of the Genetic Evolution Department is inconsequential. Since the Genetic Evolution Potion Technology is Jiang Cheng's research, it is unobjectionable for him to have the title. In case of any issues, he will be consulted afterwards.
It's just that Major General Xiang Dong couldn't understand when had the nation faced such a situation before? Appointing a researcher as the head of a national department, yet experiencing reluctance; it was unimaginable before.
It's only Jiang Cheng, whose mind seems filled with either stars or oceans, who could make Major General Xiang Dong compromise.
"Alright, Jiang Cheng, my friend, since that's the case, let's go visit the research group. Once this is settled, you can return to Luo City." Major General Xiang Dong sighed deeply and said to Jiang Cheng, "Alright, Jiang Cheng, my friend, since that's the case, let's go visit the research group. Once this is settled, you can return to Luo City." Major General Xiang Dong spoke to Jiang Cheng with a deep sigh.
"Hmm? Visit the research group?" Jiang Cheng nodded upon hearing this.
After this matter is concluded, he should head back to Luo City. Ignoring how many matters await at the company, he should also contemplate the company's future development.
The issues regarding Genetic Evolution Potion Technology have almost been resolved after discussions with the nation. The theory will be released when the nation has the capacity for large-scale production of Genetic Potions, and that will surely astonish the world.
Aside from this, the company remains a dominant force in the Virtual Reality Device and graphene industries, steadily advancing towards the top.
Thus, Jiang Cheng must consider where he should direct his energy in the future.
That's just who he is—a restless person. Even though Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company has already become, in the eyes of many worldwide, an indisputable global enterprise with assets calculated in the billions, in Jiang Cheng's view, this is still insufficient.
Being merely a top-notch company in the world is only that in Jiang Cheng's eyes.
Hmm, the research group was organized yesterday. All researchers arrived this morning, including many university professors with achievements in the Genetic Domain and their graduate students. But those research elites, perhaps in your eyes, Jiang Cheng, are still just students, haha.
Although Major General Xiang Dong had some difficulty with Jiang Cheng's refusal to devote his energy to the Genetic Evolution Department, he seemed to have realized something, and thus jokingly addressed Jiang Cheng.
